Sapphire Textile Mills 5.1 MW Grid Tied Solar Power Plant
The evidence of climate change all over the globe are not questionable anymore; fierce heat waves, raging forest fires, increasing floods everywhere, elevating sea levels, melting glaciers and extinction of species is the major authenticity. Adaptation to the changing environment is always a strength of human beings, yet the severity of the situation clearly shouts to fight against all the threats and challenges that are facing the humanity. Adaptation only isn’t the solution as the coming generation are going to be more vulnerable towards every change that has been affecting everyone around. Taking every possible precautionary to mitigation measure as a coping mechanism and to make the infrastructure and the ecosystem more resilient towards the change is mandatory now, more than ever before.
Global warming and all the climate issues aren’t only the environmental concerns, considering the aggressive development weather it’s technological or economical, energy serves as the basic source towards that goal. Also, when a developing or an under-developed nation, like Pakistan, is considered, shortage of electricity is a major barrier towards any development. Considering the past few years, increasing population and the economic development has increased the consumption of energy. Currently, major energy and power demands are being fulfilled by coal powered plants, putting more pressure on fossil fuels, which ultimately keep increasing the overall carbon footprint in the atmosphere, damaging the environment and contributing towards increasing the global warming.
In view of all the damaging effects, on environment and economic development, enhancing the energy security while reducing the overall global warming is very certain. For that purpose, harnessing the power from the renewable sources in the only possible best solution, in this era, which can not only provide a sustainable power supply but also will help in the mitigation of global warming impacts.
DSG Energy is a part of DS group of companies, focusing on renewable energy to be a part of energy transition from conventional to alternative sources of energy. DSG, with its vision of making Pakistan greener and healthier, is providing highly efficient turn-key solutions for Industrial, Commercial, Domestic and Agricultural sectors using latest equipment and technologies. Sapphire Textile Mills, decided to honor DSG by becoming a part of the greener journey and opted for 5.1 MW Solar Industrial Solution.
A grid-tied system of 5.1MW Solar Solution has been installed and commissioned equipped with the latest technology and a specially customized hot dipped- galvanized iron structure for beam roofs and specially customized aluminum structure for flat roofs at their industry in Sheikhupura. The system contains total no. of 9260 solar panels of 540W Canadian Solar Half-Cell technology, providing the best possible efficiency to the over-all system. To make the commitment and uncompromised quality assured, 45 inverters of Huawei 100KTL were utilized. The team made sure to execute the project with utmost quality and efficiency as much as humanly possible.
Upon reviewing, it can be stated that Sapphire Textile Mills, after going green, not only reduced their own electricity bill remarkably, they have also lessened the 4380 million tons of carbon emission that would have polluted the air, otherwise. Also, equivalent of implanting almost 394,200 trees, annually.
